Chapter 1159 - 573: Ten-Thousand Urgency? Surfacing_2
"That’s simple. You’re the head of the Major Crimes Unit. I just need to report it to the Major Crimes Unit and have them help with the connection."
Luo Fei was also enlightened by this.
"So that’s how it is. But young man, even if you’ve roughly guessed some of the events, we, the police, cannot casually disclose the truth to you. I hope you can understand and not mind."
As Luo Fei spoke, he seemed a bit hesitant to continue.
The young man just chuckled.
"Officer, even if you don’t tell me, I can find out some things myself."
"But it doesn’t matter. I just want to provide you with some clues."
Hearing the young man’s intention, he seemed a bit hesitant to continue.
Luo Fei couldn’t help but feel curious.
"Shi Lei, you’re making me even more curious. After all, there are some leads that even the police couldn’t trace. How did you investigate them?"
Luo Fei was somewhat puzzled.
A hint of confusion appeared on his face.
Shi Lei cleared his throat.
"Officer, to be honest with you, I got into the network system using hacking techniques. I found your office mobile number."
"And before that, I also searched for the president, trying to see his location. It turns out I discovered some incredible information. To further investigate whether the president is really involved in a crime, I now plan to send these materials to you..."
"However, there’s something I’d like to ask Mr. Luo for help with."
But Shi Lei stopped short, as if holding back words.
Luo Fei asked coldly.
"Shi Lei, are you trying to negotiate terms with me?"
Understanding the other party’s intention.
Shi Lei was noncommittal.
"Officer, that is indeed my intention, but whether or not to accept it still depends on you. Even if you don’t agree, I will still provide the information and clues to you."
Shi Lei said so.
He seemed a bit hesitant to continue.
Luo Fei also rubbed his nose.
"Speak up, we can negotiate anything as long as you’re willing to cooperate with the police."
Luo Fei said this in a calm and indifferent tone.
Shi Lei felt a wave of joy in his heart.
"Mr. Luo, it’s actually not a big deal. I used hacking techniques before to investigate the president, but I did it to better contact him, to care for him."
"So, if I hand over this information to you, will it be considered a voluntary surrender and assistance in the police investigation, and you won’t hold me accountable?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Fei also realized.
"Oh, so that’s what you’re planning?"
"Mr. Luo, I don’t actually possess real hacking skills to steal others’ secrets. I only used existing technologies to better understand what kind of person the president is. Shouldn’t that be justifiable?"
"I may consider it as an act to assist the police investigation under my order. But from now on, you mustn’t do anything reckless, or I won’t be able to forgive you. Formal procedures will still need to be followed."
Luo Fei is well aware that using hacking techniques to steal information from others is highly unethical.
Although Shi Lei means no harm, who knows if this information might be leaked?
To prevent Shi Lei from getting into trouble, strict warnings and educational guidance are the correct courses of action.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Luo, I’ll send you all the information I have. Please wait a moment."
Dingdong!
After a while.
Luo Fei’s phone beeped.
The other party sent over two folders.
They are two different people’s names.
One is the owner of the social media account Luo Fei was investigating, and the other is a stranger.
"Shi Lei, what’s in this second folder?"
Understanding the other party’s intention.
Shi Lei patiently explained.
"Mr. Luo, I discovered that there’s someone similar to the president in basic information. However, he’s not a rich second-generation, but a fraudster disguised as a wealthy influencer to make money."
In fact.
Shi Lei found that there’s a man whose physical characteristics, age, and place of origin are similar to the president.
He isn’t a real second-generation rich but relies on renting villas for photo shoots to deceive others, a great con artist.
Hearing this news.
Luo Fei was somewhat surprised.
"So, is it possible that this president is also a fraud?"
To Luo Fei,
This seems to suggest that the president and his wife are truly a perfect match. After all, both of them are con artists, deceiving and tricking people everywhere.
It even made Luo Fei find it somewhat amusing.
"Mr. Luo, I’m unsure, so I didn’t dare to contact the person. But if you can catch him, whether he’s our president or not, it would be an act of justice."
Actually,
The young man learned from the news.
This middle-aged man named Ah Bai initially shared life experiences online.
But over time,
He started live-streaming sales.
Yet, even if it were legitimate products, that would be tolerable.
But the items he sold were mostly unregistered and uncertified products.
They were also claimed to treat cancer and cure all illnesses.
"Mr. Luo, when I heard about this, I couldn’t help but laugh. But unfortunately, some elderly people believed him. There was a girl who delivered food every day to save 200,000 yuan over three years for her mother’s treatment."
"Unexpectedly, her mother spent all the money on health supplements. When the daughter prohibited her mother from buying the medicine, she said the daughter was like livestock and not her biological child. Just recently, that girl, feeling unable to save her mother and having a mental breakdown, committed suicide during a delivery trip, resulting in an accident and dying on the spot."
This news shook Luo Fei to his core.
"Is this really happening?"
"Yes, officer, I know it may sound unbelievable. But it’s indeed true, and even after the daughter’s death, the elderly woman is still obsessed, claiming no fault of her own and that she’s just trying to cure her illness. It’s truly heartbreaking."
Hearing this news,
Luo Fei took a deep breath.
"Young man, I roughly understand the situation. I’ll contact the victims you’ve identified on the lists shortly."
At this moment, Luo Fei finally realized why the other party didn’t want him to hold him accountable.
Because what he collected was the information of the victims who purchased the fake health supplements.
Altogether, there were thousands of entries.
Some even included the victim’s phone numbers and personal addresses.
"Young man, you’re doing the right thing. Let’s do it this way; write an apology letter later and send it to me by email. If we solve this case, I’ll recommend you for commendation from higher-ups."
But Luo Fei’s words left Shi Lei utterly astonished.
"Officer, are you serious? Are you really going to do that?"
"Or are you thinking that I’ve gathered too much personal information, possibly constituting a crime, so you’re planning to detain me?"
At that moment.
Shi Lei was genuinely shocked.
His face was filled with disbelief.
And Luo Fei was noncommittal.
"Shi Lei, you heard me right. I’m serious."
Luo Fei said this with a serious tone.
This made Shi Lei feel a wave of prideful excitement.
"Mr. Luo, thank you so much. Really, thank you."
Shi Lei said with a touch of excitement in his voice.
Luo Fei also sternly said.
"Shi Lei, I forgive you this time because it’s an urgent situation, and we need to solve the case. But if you use your skills for personal gain in the future, we won’t condone such behavior."
Luo Fei said this in a stern tone.
This allowed Shi Lei to slightly relax.
"Rest assured, officer, I absolutely wouldn’t dream of doing anything reckless. I assure you, the information I’ve gathered is solely for case investigation and locating people, and I haven’t used it for personal gain, nor have I caused any economic harm to the information owners."
